www.MyPE.co.za: The
Standard Bank Young Artist Award for Visual Art 2010 has been awarded
to Michael McGarry. His exhibition, ENDGAME, comes to the Nelson
Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum directly from the National Arts
Festival in Grahamstown.

The exhibition alludes to how colonialism, globalisation and
exploitation of natural resources have impacted on South Africa and the
rest of Africa.

Stephen Hobbs, Visual Artist and Cultural Producer, will be visiting
the city on Wednesday 28 July 2010 to open the exhibition at 17:30 for
18:00. All members of the public are invited to attend. For more
information or to confirm your attendance contact
the Art Museum.

Those who did not manage to view the exhibition in Grahamstown should
not miss out on this opportunity to participate in a multi-media art
experience.

The exhibition will be on show until 5 September 2010.

Michael McGarry says the following about his work; “My work
investigates the ongoing ramifications of imperialism on the African
continent, coupled with the analysis and parody of the socio-political
and economic role of political elites within this context as well as
the increasingly complicated dynamics attendant on the extraction of
natural resources – particularly oil – in African nation-states
post-independence.”
